  • Legislative Branch
    LEGISLATIVE BRANCH Bruneau Dunes Photo Courtesy: Mary Davis 138 IDAHO BLUE BOOK Legislative Branch The Idaho Legislature is responsible for translating the public will into public policy for the state, levying taxes, appropriating public funds, and overseeing the administration of state agencies. These responsibilities are carried out through the legislative process -- laws passed by elected representatives of the people, legislators. Since statehood in 1890, Idaho's legislators have enjoyed a rich and successful history of charting the state's growth. Much of that success can be attributed to the fact that Idaho's legislators are "citizen" legislators, not career politicians. They are farmers and ranchers, business men and women, lawyers, doctors, sales people, loggers, teachers. Elected for two-year terms and in session at the Capitol just three months each year, Idaho's citizen legislators are able to maintain close ties to their communities and a keen interest in the concerns of the electorate. The Legislature's Mission The Idaho Legislature is committed to carrying out its mission in a manner that inspires public trust and confi dence in elected government and the rule of law. The mission of the Legislature is to: • Preserve the checks and balances of state government by the independent exercise of legislative powers; • Adopt a system of laws that promote the health, education and well-being of Idaho's citizens; • Preserve the state's environment and ensure wise, productive use of the state's natural resources; • Carry out oversight responsibilities to enhance government accountability; and • Raise revenues and appropriate monies that support necessary government services.

  • The Future of Flood Insurance
    CIPR Fall Event: The Future of Flood Insurance Monday, April 10, 2017 Denver, CO THE CENTER FOR INSURANCE POLICY & RESEARCH © 2017 National Association of Insurance Commissioners WELCOME MESSAGE Welcome to the NAIC Center for Insurance Policy and Research (CIPR) Event: The Future of Flood Insurance. The mission for the CIPR is to serve federal and state lawmakerss, federal and state regulatory agencies, international regulatory agencies, and insurance consumers, by enhancing intergovernmental cooperation and awareness, improving consumer protection and promoting legitimate marketplace competition. To help achieve this mission, the CIPR hosts fourr annual events and a number of webinars that bring together dynamic and informative speakers and panelists. These events offer a forum for opinion and discussion on major insurance regulatory issues. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) authorization expires in September 2017. Discussions on reauthorization are already in motion, with an emphasis on reducing the prrogram’s $24 billion in debt. There is interest both politically and within the industry for more private-sector involvement in flood coverage. This event will focus on the need for NFIP reauthorization and potential reforms of the program. It will also explore what is currently driving private-sector interest in flood and what can be done to encourage more private insurers to enter the market. Additionally, with greater private sector interest, the event will examine what role the NFIP should play in the future. While you are

    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2011 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2011 2 A Message from Tom Tauke Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies — from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more — that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 25 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2011. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Thomas J. Tauke Executive Vice President Public Affairs, Policy & Communications Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2011 3 Political Contributions: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? established by the statutes and the government agencies The Verizon Good Government Clubs (GGCs) exist to help administering the federal and individual state election the people of Verizon participate in America’s electoral laws.

    Issue #3 | October 2018 ISSUE #3 | OCTOBER 2018 A ZINE ABOUT 80s MOVIES GIRLS, ON FILM THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN WHITE WATER SUMMER ERNEST GOES TO CAMP ONE CRAZY SUMMER THE FLAMINGO KID SUMMER SCHOOL THE LOST BOYS LOVERBOY The Summer Issue [email protected] Girls, on Film | An 80s Movie Zine ONCE UPON A (SUMMER) TIME... Welcome to the third installment of Girls, on Film. In each issue of this zine, we discuss a handful of 80’s movies related to a particular theme. We previously covered music and sports, and now we’re moving on to movies about the summer (because it was summer when we started this thing). And these movies have it all: summer camp, summer jobs, summer romance, summer rebellion, and even summer vampires! (Beware: all essays contain spoilers). The lineup: • Summer School – make me wanna Shoop. • Loverboy – the Love Doctor of Beverly Hills is making house calls. • The Flamingo Kid - Matt Dillon really likes silk shirts. • One Crazy Summer – the waters of Nantucket are rife with animatronic sharks. • The Legend of Billie Jean – sisters are doing it for themselves down in Corpus Christi. • Ernest Goes to Camp - two words: Eggs Erroneous. • White Water Summer – Kevin Bacon is the wilderness guide from hell. • The Lost Boys – Santa Carla is crawling with goddamn, shit-sucking vampires. The girls: Girls, on Film is founded and edited by Stephanie McDevitt and Janene Scelza. Stephanie was born at the dawn of the 80s, and has great appreciation for all movies, music, and fashion that came out of this radical decade.
